‘Manning Bowl’ couldn’t outdraw Cowboys’ stadium opener

Although it was the fifth-highest number in “Sunday Night Football” history, the 15.2 overnight rating for Sunday night’s “Manning Bowl” was down 8 percent from last season’s Week 2 game, which featured N.Y. Giants and Dallas in the opening of the Cowboys’ new stadium (16.7).

The second career matchup of brother quarterbacks Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts and Eli Manning of the Giants did outrate the first meeting four years ago (14.7).

Bored w/ the Peyton-Eli comparisons. I’m more interested about the forgotten older brother. How he copes w/ the fame, fuss and mega dollars his sibblings make. They always talk about dad and the two brothers. Like he doesn’t even exist.
